It's an easily customizable system control panel. It comes with a tray icon to show the panel if it's hidden.
It's written in C++ based on Qt5.
It could serve as a demo on how to use tray icons and how to run shell commands with the system function.
Example configuration file ~/.config/controlpanel/buttons.conf:
# This is a comment line.
# Columns are separated with a tab:
# - Button caption
# - Primary button shell command
# - Shell command to determine button visibility (default: always visible)
# - Flag to indicate if the window should be hidden after clicking the button
# (0 or 1; default: 0 -> window is not hidden)
# Trailing columns can be omitted.
# Don't forget the trailing "&" in the primary command
# to run a command in background.
# :quit and :close are special commands.

This is my first Qt project and it's years ago that I programmed in C++.
So maybe I use pointers vs. references inconsistently.
Probably there are some variables, parameters, or methods that should better be const.
Maybe I forgot to delete some objects (unsure what Qt deletes for me).
And the design is still evolving :)
